    2560x1440 Not Showing in any game I play, Only 4k shows

    Recently when I started playing some games, I notice I'm forced to play in 3840x2160. Although it is nice to play in crisp 4k, I would rather have higher frames than play in 4k. The problem is, I used to play in 2560x1440 all the time. I didn't change anything, and all of sudden, no matter what game I play, the resolution does not find 2560x1440. I know changing between windowed, fullscreen, borderless, etc., does not affect it because no matter what game I play, it doesn't show the other resolutions. The options go from 3840x2160 and directly goes to 1600x900. They all have the same settings. This happens in GTA, Cyberpunk, COD MW, and COD BOCW. I've realized it's not a problem with the games but a problem in windows that do not show the selection. It just randomly disappeared. My selection menu is shown below this message. I'll provide some information about my setup to see if that helps. But also note that nothing changed in terms of hardware when I had this issue. I have an Asus 2080 gaming card. I am running 2 4k monitors. One is powered via 2 display cables to provide the full 144hz, and the second is powered via USB c to HDMI. My 3rd monitor is a 1080p monitor powered by HDMI. And my final 4th monitor is powered by a final HDMI. Please let me know if you need any more information. Maybe there is a windows setting that is prohibiting the 2560x1440 from showing? Please let me know. Thank you all.

  2. Windows 10 2560x1440 resolution

    I have recently upgraded to the final version of windows 10 pro, 64bit machine. (Build 10240). After upgrading, I can no longer select 2560x1440 resolution for my philips 272C4 27 inch display. In my previous version (windows 7) this worked perfectly. The
    display supports and recommends the 2560x1440 resolution when I check in the display menu. I have a radeon 6800 graphics card with the latest drivers version 15.20.1062.1002-150715a-187327C.

    Any suggestions? How do I "convince" windows 10 that my display supports this resolution?
